Gene information for HMOX1 (Homo sapiens)
(Information is obtained from NCBI Gene database)
Entrez gene ID3162
Official gene symbolHMOX1
Full nameheme oxygenase (decycling) 1
Aliases,HO-1,HSP32,bK286B10,
Gene summaryHeme oxygenase, an essential enzyme in heme catabolism, cleaves heme to form biliverdin, which is subsequently converted to bilirubin by biliverdin reductase, and carbon monoxide, a putative neurotransmitter. Heme oxygenase activity is induced by its substrate heme and by various nonheme substances. Heme oxygenase occurs as 2 isozymes, an inducible heme oxygenase-1 and a constitutive heme oxygenase-2. HMOX1 and HMOX2 belong to the heme oxygenase family. [provided by RefSeq]
